<p>Wow that’s great! But do you think that my standardized test scores will hurt me significantly because if I retake the SAT twos, I would have to take it in Nov. and I don’t know if it would get there in time. So what do you guys think?</p>

<p>Looks like you'll be pretty strong, warren_buffett89. My only advice would be to get your test scores up - higher scores can never hurt.</p>

<p>Judging by your Username (Warren Buffett), i would say you are in :D</p>

<p>Thanks guys you really made my day expecailly after seeing my Sat two scores, but I will retake everything and see where that takes me. Hopefully, in 6 months from now I will be part of the Stern class of 2011 but only time will tell. Thanks again to those who replied!</p>
